What is System Ex?

System Ex is similar to Thermal Bonding in that it attaches a few strands of hair at a time to add highlights, volume and length. The key difference is that unlike Thermal Bonding, System Ex is completely resin-free.

Suitability

System Ex, being resin-free, is considered a ‘Green’ alternative to Thermal Bonding. Whilst a popular modern method of attachment, your technician may consider it unsuitable if your hair is very brittle or damaged.
An initial consultation will determine which length of hair to go for and how much you will need, as well as the texture and colour of hair, depending on your requirements.

The Process

As with all extension application methods, the client’s hair is washed clean and blow-dried with cool air before applying extensions.
Once clean and dry, the natural hair is sectioned and a few strands are taken at a time to which the extension hair is attached suing a special braid and elasti-thread seal.

Caring for System Ex Hair Extensions

System Ex hair extensions can last up to three months although it is recommended that they are replaced after eight weeks due to the growth of the natural hair which will make the extensions ‘fall’ from where they were first applied revealing the attachment.
Whilst these extensions can be washed every other day, it is recommended they are shampooed less frequently, on a weekly basis. Low pH products should be used. Shampooing less frequently will prevent extensions from wear that occurs naturally by washing. Conditioner can be used but should not placed directly on the areas where extensions have been applied, close to the scalp, to avoid System Ex attachments from getting clogged up.

Use special brushes for extensions to reduce static, large tooth combs to detangle and oil free recommended products to maintain shine and lustre.

If human hair has been used, you can style your hair with heated straighteners and tongs and with a hair dryer.
